Authentic Cajun Cuisine from New Orleans



Michael Palermo grew up cooking in New Orleans and spent 17 years in Gonzales, Louisiana, the Jambalaya Capital of the World.



This isn’t Tex-Mex with Cajun seasoning. This is real Louisiana cooking: jambalaya made the traditional way, gumbo with a proper roux, crawfish étouffée that takes hours to develop, and scratch made boudin balls straight from Cajun country. The menu also features fried catfish, fried shrimp, smoked chicken, smoked pork butt, boiled seafood that’s in season and boudin tacos that bring Texas and Louisiana together.

Every recipe comes from years of learning alongside experienced Cajun chefs, and every dish reflects that heritage. When you book The Cajun Cowboy, you’re getting food that tastes like it came straight out of a Louisiana kitchen; or as Mike would say, “Just like my grandmother would make”



Fresh Ingredients, Made from Scratch



The Cajun Cowboy doesn’t use pre-made sauces, frozen vegetables, or processed ingredients. Every meal starts with fresh produce that’s hand-cut daily, quality cuts of meat, and seafood sourced for flavor and freshness.

The Chef

The Cajun Cowboy is Michael Palermo, born and raised in New Orleans and his cooking style was shaped by 17 years in Gonzales, Louisiana, the Jambalaya Capital of the World.

In Southern Louisiana, cooking isn’t something you rush, it’s an all-day affair. Meals are a shared experience in Louisiana; mentoring and learning from the best chefs in the region is something Michael is proud of, that’s how Michael learned to cook, and that’s what you taste in every dish. After all, anyone in New Orleans knows that the best tasting food in the city is not at a fancy restaurant, but rather it’s at someone’s relative’s house. This is the experience Michael brings to his food every day; a frequent phase he uses on the truck, “Its just like grandmother used to make.”

After two decades in San Antonio, Michael turned that Louisiana training into a full-service food truck that services Texas Hill Country in Kerrville, Blanco, Bandera, Fredericksburg or in San Antonio, or anywhere across Texas.

Great food means that Every meal is made from scratch using hand-cut produce, quality meat, and fresh seafood. No preservatives, no artificial flavors, just sea salt and the kind of seasoning that comes from years of practice and experience. The truck is self-contained and built for any and all events that you can dream up. Setup is quick, the food is hot, and the hospitality is pure New Orleans.

From gumbo that’s been simmering all morning to po’ boys piled high with shrimp or catfish, this is Cajun food the way it’s meant to taste rich, Bold, savory, and cooked with care.
